This is a beautifully made gift!
This is a beautifully made, hard cover book. The pages are glossy with wonderful coloring and fabulous pictures as it tells her story. I can’t wait to give it to my granddaughter!

Cathy, thank you so much for these kind words!
We put a lot of heart into the quality of these books - from the sturdy hardcover to those glossy pages - because we know they're meant to be treasured keepsakes, not just something that sits on a shelf. Hearing that you noticed and appreciate those details means the world to us.
We hope your granddaughter absolutely LOVES seeing herself as the star of her own adventure! There's nothing quite like watching a child's face light up when they realize the hero of the story is... them.
Thank you for choosing Magic Story to create something special for her!
Warmly,
The Magic Story Team

Carla, this is wonderful to hear!
Getting the illustration to truly capture your granddaughter - that's what we work so hard to achieve, so knowing we nailed it makes our whole team happy. And when the story resonates too? That's the magic we're going for!
The fact that your sister is now ordering for HER grandchildren is the ultimate compliment. There's nothing better than families sharing Magic Story with each other because they genuinely love what we've created.
Thank you for spreading the word and for trusting us with your granddaughter's story!
With gratitude,
The Magic Story Team
Granddaughters loved them
Both my granddaughters loved their books, and the fact their names were in them and they resembled them

Cheryl, we're so happy to hear both your granddaughters loved their books!
There's something really special that happens when a child sees their own name AND their own face in a story - suddenly they're not just reading about an adventure, they're living it. We're so glad that magic worked for both of your granddaughters!
Thank you for creating these special keepsakes for them. Those are memories they'll treasure for years to come.
Warmly,
The Magic Story Team
The illustration is so freaking cute
The illustration is so freaking cute! Story line was good for my grandson's age. Was a little disappointed that his picture wasn't on all of the pages but a story did need to be told! Loved it so much I'm getting him the Christmas book!

Reply from Magic Story
Ha! We love the "so freaking cute" - that's exactly the reaction we're going for! 😊
You make such a good point about the picture placement - we totally get wanting to see him on every single page (because seriously, how cute is he?!), but you're right that the story needs room to breathe and build. We're always balancing "show the kid!" with "tell a great story," and it sounds like we found the sweet spot for your grandson's age.
The fact that you're coming back for the Christmas book? That's the best feedback we could ask for. Thank you for giving us another chance to make magic for him!
Cheers,
The Magic Story Team
My daughter loves them
My daughter loves these books. I’ve been ordering them for my granddaughter and my daughter said “She loves it” and for me to keep this going, so that’s what I’m going to do. ❤️

Reply from Magic Story
Stephen, this is exactly why we do what we do. ❤️
The fact that your daughter specifically asked you to keep it going? That tells us everything. When a parent sees their child light up over these books and says "more of THIS, please" - that's the ultimate seal of approval.
We're honored to be part of this tradition you're building with your granddaughter. There's something beautiful about a grandparent creating a collection of stories where she's always the hero.
Thank you for being such a thoughtful grandfather. We're here whenever you're ready for the next one!
All the best,
The Magic Story Team

Wanda, you just captured something really important that a lot of people don't realize at first!
These books aren't just about a child reading alone - they're about sitting together, turning pages, and experiencing the adventure as a team. That shared journey? Those moments of "look, that's YOU saving the day!" - that's where the real magic lives.
Thank you for seeing what makes these stories special. We hope you and your child/children have many more adventures together!

Thank you so much, Shelly!
Our illustrators will be thrilled to hear this - they put so much care into every detail to make these books truly special.
We can't wait for your granddaughter to see it! There's nothing quite like that moment when she opens the book and realizes SHE'S the star of the story. We hope it becomes one of her favorites.
Thanks for trusting us to create something magical for her!

Kim, "vibrant and creative" - YES! That's exactly what we're going for!
We want these books to pop off the page and pull kids (and let's be honest, adults too!) right into the adventure. So glad the first book delivered on that.
Can't wait for you to see what's coming next. Each story brings its own unique world and energy, so there's plenty more vibrant creativity headed your way!
Thanks for being part of the Magic Story family,

Fabulous Idea
This idea of personalizing a character in a book is fabulous. What an amazing gift idea for a precious little one.

Reply from Magic Story
Mimi, we couldn't agree more!
It's funny - the concept sounds so simple (put a kid in a book!), but the impact? That's where it gets really powerful. Watching a child realize they're not just reading a story but STARRING in one... it never gets old for us.
And you're so right about it being a gift. These aren't books that get read once and forgotten - they become keepsakes that families hold onto.
Thank you for getting what we're trying to do here.
We appreciate you!

Love the book
I ordered the book for my grandson. Was easy to create his avatar and order the book

Christopher, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled that ordering and creating the avatar for your grandson was easy and that he loves his book! Making the process simple while creating magical, personalized books is our passion. We can't wait to create more adventures with him!
Their books are so adorable
Their books are so adorable. I love the fact that they make my children a hero in the stories. And the illustration is amazing. The illustration of my children is pretty much dead on. The stories I picked with my kids is something they are learning about themselves, and their books will help guide them. Plus, it’s books that I will never donate. I will keep them forever!!! I definitely will recommend this book to anyone with kids!!!

Reply from Magic Story
Robyn,
"I will keep them forever!!!" - we just got chills reading that!
Getting the illustrations dead-on is something our team obsesses over, so hearing that it worked for BOTH your children means everything. And the fact that you chose stories that align with what they're working on in their own lives? That's intentional parenting at its best.
These books aren't meant to be outgrown or passed along - they're meant to be keepsakes that capture exactly who your kids are right now. The fact that you see them that way too just validates everything we're trying to create.
Thank you for the recommendation shout-out and for trusting us with something so meaningful for your family. Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Cheering you on,
The Magic Story Team
The book was absolutely fantastic
The book was absolutely fantastic. He recognized himself right away. I can’t wait for the next book in my subscription.

Reply from Magic Story
Sue, that moment of recognition is pure magic, isn't it?
When a child looks at the page and goes "That's ME!" - we never get tired of hearing about it. So glad he saw himself right away.
You've got more adventures coming your way with that subscription, and we think each one is going to be just as exciting.
Thanks for being part of the Magic Story family!
Best,
The Magic Story Team
Ah ha surprise!!
I can’t wait for my grandchild to open his new book for Christmas! I’m not telling them their very own portrait is throughout the book! Can’t wait to see the surprise look when they figure it out!

Reply from Magic Story
Kelly, oh this is going to be exciting!
We love that you're keeping it a complete surprise. That delayed realization - flipping through pages, then suddenly... "WAIT, IS THAT ME?!" - might be even better than knowing from the start.
You've gotta come back and tell us how it goes!
Sincerely,
The Magic Story Team
What a great book
What a great book, I love the story and my granddaughters character. The character looks so much like her and everyone thought it would be a great gift. I am looking for to the next book and the next and so on. Thank you

Edwin, it sounds like you nailed the gift!
When everyone agrees it's great, you know you've picked a winner. And getting the character to look so much like your granddaughter - that's what transforms it from "a nice book" to something she'll want to keep forever.
We're so glad you're planning to continue the collection. There's something really special about building a library of adventures for your granddaughter. ❤️
We're looking forward to delivering her next book!
